441 Farmers Market...
Just a reminder that we will not be back at the 441 Farmers Market in Gainesville until 1/16 as we are taking a break for the holidays.  We will continue to visit the market every 2 weeks starting again on 1/16. 
 

A Window of time for Placing Orders – Starting in January we will be placing a time frame of about a week where you will be able to place your order.  We feel like this is necessary so that we can better manage our inventory.  What this means is that you will not be able to place your order 2 weeks in advance but only during the allotted time for your particular delivery schedule.  We will also have reminder notifications that will be sent to your e-mail when it is time to place your order.

Wild “Medicinal” Honey is back: https://fullcirclerealfoods.com/store?q=honey  as is “No Spray” sweet potatoes:  https://fullcirclerealfoods.com/product/sweet-potatoes-40lb-box  from local farmer, Sammy Starling and many other goodies.  If you have not browsed our site in a while go for it.  2016 promises many good things and many predict bad as well but at FCF we are full steam ahead till the bottom falls out. My friend Scott decided to change his life in 2015 and in his 5th month with Melaleuca, made 150k and they are looking for people who want to make a bit more money on the side or a whole career change.  E-mail me and I will put you in touch with him imed.

 

Here are our girls "horse'n around"!

 

Pork highlights... 

There are many great options now in stock of our forest-fed pork.  We have a new batch of 50/50 which is half 100% Grass Fed Ground Beef and half Forest-Fed Non-GMO Pork seasoned with salt, pepper, red pepper, sage and sugar and comes in 2 lb packs.  
 
We also have a holiday special sausage which is seasoned with local rosemary and garlic, lemon zest, black pepper and organic sea salt.  This is an excellent option if you are looking for an Italian style sausage and it comes in 1 lb. packs.  We will only have one batch of this option so get it while it lasts.  
 
Finally, we now have the deer/pork mix back and this year we had it done in 2 lb. packs instead of 5 lb. packs per customer feedback.  This is 60% forest-fed Non-GMO pork seasoned with seasoned with salt, pepper, red pepper, sage and sugar and wild-caught local deer. 

Half/Whole Pig Orders...
If you are interested in a half or whole pig, we will be taking pigs to the butcher on 1/6.  You can submit the deposit on the FCF website and we will provide a cut sheet for you to specify exactly how you would like to receive your pork.  The cost of the pig includes the butchering, processing, packaging and any special requests such as curing and smoking so there are no added fees to what is listed on the website.  Contact angelabowen@gmail.com for additional questions. 
 
Thanks for being conscious consumers who vote with your pocket book by supporting our growing family of farms and budding entrepreneurs,

Dennis and Alicia

Trial Date: October 21st, Please Come And Show Your Support

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Our trial date is set for October 21st at the Suwannee County Courthouse in Live Oak, FL. We would like to ask you to drop everything and come to the trial. The more people we can get into that room the better off we will be. If you want to say something on our behalf you may be allowed but if you want to observe, only, that works too. The judge will be persuaded by numbers of people interested in this case.

Rabbit, Chestnuts, Micro-Greens And A Trial 9/20/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, We may be going to trial. We are alleged criminals for selling food without a proper license. They sent an undercover investigator to our farm to buy our food and caught us red handed. We are charged with a second degree misdemeanor just like a druggy. Yes it is a very sick world we live in when the farmer and his wife who neither have ANY previous record are accused of a crime and the crime is something that people have been doing since the beginning of time.

Kefir, a Glass a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away and Persimmons A-plenty 9/6/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Kefir made from raw, 100% grass fed milk is an amazing super food loaded with friendly bacteria for your gut. A healthy person will have 2 to 6 lbs of healthy bacteria in their gut. Another way to say this is that a healthy person will have 80% good bacteria and 20% bad in the gut but most Americans have this ratio reversed. This imbalance affects the immune function as these friendly bacteria are a huge part of your immune system.
